Who said it "eliminates" the risk? The point is that statistically most kids are going to have sex. Short of murdering them all and dooming our species to the history books of our planet, we're not going to stop—or even slow—teen sex. Understanding that as a virtual certainty, the next best thing to abstinence would be proper and responsible sex practices such as being tested regularly and using contraception. Condoms have a roughly 90-98% depending on who you ask. Birth control pills also have a high success rate (generally between 92-98%, depending on who you ask). STD and AIDS testing are nearly certain. These are not perfect options, but they are the best options available to sexually active individuals not wanting to catch something or get pregnant.

Not even a little. It's the best system that can exist.
